SINCLAIR'S SHARE OF

Magazine. Oct. 85. 





share, with 50.5 percent of the computers in “mucn the same 





together. 
oe figures were compiled for the 
four weeks ending 7 September, and 


are 

sales of $7,000 micros 
under the £1000 mark. The Spec- 
trum Ptus accounts for the lion’s 


market, and the QL has 5.8 percent. 
Making up the difference, someone, 
somewhere, seems to have bought 


285 ZX8is. 

Spearman however points out 
that the figures apply mainly to 
August, when the home computer 
industry was still in its summer 
trough, and should therefore be 
treated with caution. The figures are 
also weighted towards the multiples, 
as AGB concedes that its presence 
in the independent computer stores 
is not as great as it should be. 

Sinclair's marketing manager 
Alison Maguire says that the figures 
indicate that people are buying 


-numbers as fast year” and reiterates 


Sinclair’s “total comn itment to our 
current UK product line-up”. So no 
128s this Christmas, and perhaps an 
indication that Sinclair’s own 
prediction of a total market of 
1,000,000 units this year, against 
1,400,000 last, could be a little on 
the conservative side. 

Home micro sales are now almost 
wholly accounted for by Sinclair, 
Commodore, Acorn and Amstrad. 
Adrian Spearman won't elaborate 
on individual companies’ market 
share, but says that only three or 
four companies hold shares of 5 
percent or more.

having to retype the whole list selecting just the 
name and address and leaving out the telephone nuabers 
and notes, 


I devised a siaple way of eanipulating the printer 
format without rewriting any of the progras listing. 


The basic principle of the solution is this: 

WHEN SETTING THE DATA FIELDS IN THE PRINTER FORMAT, 
PLACE ALL UNWANTED DATA FIELDS ON ONE PRINT LINE AND 
THEN COVER WITH A LINE OF SPACES, 

The step by step process. 


1, When entering each file, #ill the last data field 
with spaces all the way across the page. 


2, Press C to get a screen copy. With a pen, note in 
order on the copy the nuaber of each data field. 


Cad 


» Press @ to quit and from the asenue, select "set 
printer foraat’. 


4. Design your printer format, (or leave blank if you 
don’t want any fixed writing printed on every 
file.) Stop to exit. This will bring you to “Set 
Data Fields" See Note $, 


5. Decide which fields you want to print and where you 
want thee printed. Move cursor to the desired 
position and set each field by pressing enter. 
(Nake sure there is enough room on the line for the 
data field to fit.) Keep in mind the number of each 
data field in the order you set thea. 


ANY FIELD YOU DON’T WANT PRINTED, move with the 
cursor and set on a line that is to remain blank. 
(They can be set on top of each other.) Set the 
final data field (the one that will contain a whole 
row of eaply spaces on each file page) on the sase 
line that is to remain blank. This will, in effect, 
cover over any printing on this line. 


Note & (From step 4 ) 

If you want to control how many lines of text and 
eapty lines are alocated for the printing of each 
file, put a period "." on the final line. The 
printer will then print the text and the eapty 
lines up to the period and then go on to the next 
file. (J use the period to justify the start of 
each of ay stick on labels--See example.)

Conclusion: 
It’s really great to have these labels neatly 
printed out all sorted and ready to stick on and ail. 


It works fine on the 2040 printer. For stick on 
labels I use ay Star S6-10 printer with Near Letter 
Quality Type style. ) 


With home address and phone lists or club

Microdrive Adapter Board 


Available From - The English Micro Connection 
1S Kilburn Court 
Newport, R.I. 02840 
(401) 849-3805 


Price ~ $ 35.00 (PPD) 


It is well known amongst the owners of the TS 2068, that 
the capability of using hardware peripherals designed for the U. 
K. Spectrum in most cases will not work. This is due to the 
fact that the signals on the rear edge connector are configured 
differently between the 2068 and Spectrum. Hence, thoughts of 
running ZX microdrives on the 2068 were rudely rejected. 

However, through the efforts of many dedicated TS 2068 


hardware "geniuses" a host of so-called "twistor” boards have 
appeared. These clever devices re-configure the 2068 signals to 
resemble the Spectrum output. In the earlier versions, 


incompatiblity with some versions of Spectrum emulators existed 
when trying to run microdrives (most notably Spectrum ROM and 
Romswitch types). This minor problem was to be solved quickly. 
Now, most twistor boards available can accomodate any type of 
emulator. 

In opting to buy ZX Microdrives instead of a disk drive 
system, I decided to purchase the Qliger microdrive adapter 
board (EMU-4) to interface the system with my 2068. The adapter 
board fits between the 2068 and Sinclair Interface 1 (this 
component is required to hook microdrives up). A nice feature 
of the design is the slight angling of the actual FC board once 
the female edge connector is plugged into the back of the 
computer. Why is this advantageous you might ask ? The reason 
is, the Sinclair Interface 1 was designed to slip underneath of 
the Spectrum and thus its female edge connector is slightly 
elevated to accomodate for this. As the microdrive adaptor 
board sits, it is angled perfectly for easy attachment into the 
Interface 1. 

The only drawback I personally see is the "bare" board 
itself. Other than a piece of protection tape covering the 
tracings, all other electronic components are exposed. So one 
must be careful not to spill or drop anything on it. Aside from 
that minor quirk, the board does exactly what its designed to 
do. I now have the Sinclair microdrives (which I will review in 
a later article) up and running like a charm. Furthermore, the 
expansion port of Interface 1 (located on back) 15 fully capable 
of being used to add on other Spectrum peripherals. Timex 
designed peripherals which I have also been successful in using 
are the Aerco Centronics Interface, and TS 2040 printer. 
Caution, the oniy device which I have currently been unmable to 
use with the Interface 1 is the Westridge 2050 modem. 
Hopefully, one of the "geniuses" will figure this one too! 

Well, thats it for now. Back to playing with my 
microdrive system (who needs disk drives anyway) !
